5 Surprising Benefits of Online Music Lessons
With current circumstances circling around the COVID-19 pandemic, we know being "trapped" in your home can cause stress and be anxiety inducing. However it doesn't have to be that way. Online music lessons are one of the best ways to keep you or your child busy during the down time while keeping your mental health in check! Listed below are 5 surprising benefits of taking online music lessons.
1. Keeping Busy
Whether you are learning music yourself, or you have children interested in learning themselves, there are some of us that are in desperate need of daily accomplishments and activities. If you are interested in lessons in guitar, piano, voice, bass guitar, recording, or EVEN the ukulele... there is no better solution than to take advantage of the time you have now! Our brains are always craving things to do, but what you do with that time is very important! Why not strengthen your mental fitness with that time?
2. Social Engagement & CONNECTION
It’s fair to say that many of us did not realize how much we actually enjoy talking and being around others. Engaging with others is one of the most important things when it comes to our mental stability. Even talking with someone over the phone or video can really help us get out of the mental rut and brighten up our moods! Combine that with learning an instrument, it's guaranteed to help you. Having online music lessons helps you to form new and ongoing connections and relationships with music teachers, musicians, and even other students.
3. Maintaining Normalcy
Your routine has been shot! All the normal things and places you love to be at have been put at a stand still. The adjustment is, no doubt, very difficult. However, you don't have to drop everything. While you may have to limit the amount of time spent outside of your home, this doesn't mean you have to stop your improvement in the world of music! Online music lessons can easily accommodate you and your musical journey.
4. Different advantages than in-person lessons
